CUISINE AND ATMOSPHERE: Tsunami Sushi serves Japanese food with flair. Nibbles, along with a friend, visited the restaurant on a recent weekday. Tsunami Sushi looks like a place more suited for lunch than dinner. It features light wood tables and flooring with soft orange walls, pendant lighting and a sushi bar, where you can see your sushi being assembled. There's a fish tank with about 15 small fish that will never become sushi. What the place lacked a little bit in atmosphere was more than made up for by our waitress, Cara.WHAT'S NEW: Not much, but there are often specials listed on each table. There's now a children's menu.FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Tsunami Sushi lives up to its name. The sushi isn't just good, it's fantastic. And it looks as good as it tastes. My buddy ordered a seaweed salad as an appetizer. I want no part of eating seaweed, but he, being youthful, called it "the bomb." We ordered a lunch special, a combination meal of four California rolls and three "chef's choices" of sushi, which ended up being tuna, white tuna and salmon. This meal came with breaded and fried zucchini and sweet potato. It was all fresh and delicious, as was an order of chicken teriyaki. If that wasn't enough, we ended with a piece of fried cheesecake. It was the bomb.PRICES: Appetizers from $4.25 to $12.95.
